I no doubt will be lambasted by the perrenial souths baggers but they are every chance to win the title and are my pick at the moment.Extremely well coached,good young half,big tough and skillful pack and dangerous outside backs with Inglis in absolute career best form.Add to that very good depth as they displayed today and it is a good package.They,unlike most,are putting big scores consistently on sides and defending well.They dispose of most sides with little fuss,particularly the weak ones which for some reason we cant do.
To even be competitive with them in 2 weeks we need to lift to last years standards.Play like last night and we will be embarrassed.I think it will be a good game for us to have.Away from home against a Sydney based contender in great form.If our attitude can lift for this one we may be in business.I expect a big game from our guys and if we dont get it you can kiss us goodbye Im afraid but I really think we will lift.
I also expect the cowboys to beat us pretty well as usual(with buckets of help from the boys in pink) but they beat us in 08 and 2011 up there as well and it didnt hurt.Like St Choke at Canberra it just seems to be a bridge too far for some reason- but they cant win in Sydney so,other than missing 2 points,it wont mean a lot unless we cop them in a home final up there which would be disastrous.
